The Spellman Files

This book is quite interesting. Izzy is a girl who has never really had a childhood. She acts like she has a great life but I kind of feel sorry for her. She is forced to work for her parents as a PI. Its kind of creepy the way she figures things out about people. It kind of makes me wonder what they would be able to find out about me. But to me my life seems kind of boring. Izzy is a crazy girl. She does drugs and drinks a lot. She seems like a wild child, which is what my mom like to call people like that. During the book she is interviewing someone who is trying to find her sister that went missing. She is reliving her life to try to figure out why she is the way she is and how this all happened. She doesn't really seem like she gets to close with anyone. She had one friend all through high school and after. Her family knows how to get other people to do what they want. It is kind of sad that her sister learned it when she was so young. She was about 8 when she started working for their parents along with Izzy and her brother. I'm hoping by the end of the book she will be able to fix her life a little better or at least quit her job with her parents.
This week I finished the book Take Four. Bailey and Cody finally started dating. I knew she should have broken up with Tim a long time ago. She knew that too but she didn't want to things to change. He was good, but they weren't in love. Sometimes that happens with people in life too. They date people who they know just aren't good for them and they know that there is someone better for them. Sometimes it is just because they are comfortable and don't want to have to hurt anyone. When things are over and they find someone else who is better for them. That is what happened to Bailey, but of course Cody knew it the whole time. She finally took the chance and her best friend became her boyfriend.
